Music soothes the soul..
We all can do with music. Some of us cannot do without music. Music intensifies moods and gives birth to inspiration and renewed vigour. How about angry music, like in the case of raps and heavy metal? What purpose do these serve? I believe these also perpetuate moods, in this case negative moods. When you are angry, would you rather listen to angry music to perpertuate your anger, like a form of release perhaps? When you are a little angry about something really quite insignificant in the light of your entire lifetime and life yet to be lived; and listen to angry music, what happens is that your anger would likely escalate into something destructive. What is actually insignificant might seem very significant and that might be enough for some of us to make desisions we are known to regret later. Regreting later has little use, since the action has already been committed. The guy who almost got hanged for killing his wife, did what he did in a moment of what his lawyer described as morbid jeolousy. Morbid jeolousy or just a moment of raving madness, a crime would not go unpunished. This man too, though having escaped the hangman's noose, is serving time for a long long time to pay for what he did.
Some people even commit suicide or flirt with suicidal thoughts due to having indulged in sad songs for a long time. Love failures for instance, listen to sad forlorn love songs and feel sorry for themselves. Do these sad songs make anything better? No, on the contrary they perpertuate one's sorrow.So is music no good, in helping us seek reprieve of sorts? No, music is good and helpful in elevating moods as well.
I recommend listening to music that induces an emotion contrary to what negative emotion you may be feeling. Like if you are sad, listen to a happy song, get uplifted and move on with life. If you are angry too, listen to a soothing song and calm your temper, lest you commit something stupid in that anger. In this way, music helps you to regulate your negative emotions and puts you back on track. Some would say, this would be deluding oneself, and that such songs are contrary to the actual miserable reality. That is not true. We do not know enough to know that reality is essentially bad. Reality might actually be better than we think. It is all a matter of perspective really. The truth will set us free, and the truth is not essentially bitter.
Life is good, enjoy life, be happy and carefree, not sad or angry. Lets live life to the fullest, and not let anything get us down. In the event that we are down, there is always the music, that soothes the soul.
